The myopic view that the market exists solely to serve the residents of the neighborhood is shortsighted. When the market shifts its view to that of a regional attraction, the neighborhood will be serviced, only more so. We would not be the first. Markets are flourishing in Rochester, Detroit, Hamilton, Cincinnati, etc. Read a magazine or watch the Food Network and you will see people clamoring for locally produced or exotic food items. Go to Clinton-Bailey or any other farmers market. You\u2019ll see bustling business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They hit the proverbial nail on the head.<\/p>\n<p>The Market is part of fabric of WNY\u2026it already is a regional attraction during Easter.\u00a0 There is no other Broadway-Fillmore institution which attracts the volume of people the Market does on a consistent basis throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Foodie\">Foodies<\/a>\u00a0in other cities would die to have such an institution in its midst.<\/p>\n<p>More from their letter\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s the area we should look at, not just the market. Vision for market leadership is needed, but that vision needs to look beyond concrete walls and integrate the market with the entire historic neighborhood. This district has too long been forgotten.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the Market to succeed, it can\u2019t be an insular place\u2026it needs to be part of the larger picture for the neighborhood and a vehicle to aid in its rebirth.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.buffalonews.com\/opinion\/everybodyscolumn\/story\/450728.html\">full letter by clicking here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neighborhood advocates Marty Biniasz and Eddy Dobosiewicz have a letter in the Buffalo News today about the Market.
